So, I'm trying to follow the X Font Deuglification howto. I have a bunch of Windows fonts on my "other" partition (the old dusty one that came with the system but is almost never used anymore). I want to grab those fonts, just like the above doc says.
I copy them all over. I've installed xfs-xtt (I'm still using XFree86 3.3.6 and am not interested in moving to 4.x yet, thanks anyway...) Now it says use ttmkfdir; I've searched everywhere and I can't find this in any Debian package. The mailing lists suggest using mkttfdir instead (why? Why isn't the original included with fttools or something?) I tried that (a perl script apparently), and I just get "Segmentation fault": # mkttfdir Segmentation fault. I checked and I _do_ have a fonts.dir file after this bombs, but I don't have a fonts.scale, which is what the above doc says I need, then I'm supposed to run mkfontdir to get fonts.dir. How can I get a fonts.scale file? Why is mkttfdir dumping core? And why do we have a different implementation of this tool in Debian than everyone else uses; this seems counterproductive? I'm downloading the tarball and building ttmkdir myself now... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
